{"product_id":"sheridan-vineyard-mystique-2018","title":"Sheridan Vineyard Mystique 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eSheridan Vineyard Mystique 2018 is a beautifully composed, Bordeaux-inspired red from Washington’s Yakima Valley, offering impressive depth, polish, and value in equal measure. Crafted by self-taught winemaker Scott Greer from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, it reflects both the elegance of the blend and the character of Sheridan’s estate-grown fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Mystique shows a deep ruby hue that immediately signals richness and concentration. The nose is generous and layered, with blackberry, cassis, blueberry, mocha, dark chocolate, dried spices, and a touch of vanilla rising from the glass.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with plush black and blue fruit framed by supple tannins and a graceful, rounded texture. The oak influence is well integrated, adding subtle spice and depth without overwhelming the fruit. This is a wine built to drink beautifully now, but it has the balance and structure to develop further over the next 8-10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes for Mystique come from Sheridan Vineyard’s own sites in Yakima Valley, Washington, where the warm, dry climate and well-drained soils help Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot ripen evenly while retaining freshness. The wine is matured for 17 months in one-year-old French oak barrels, a choice that allows the fruit to remain front and center while adding complexity, texture, and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for grilled ribeye, roast lamb, braised short ribs, venison, or hearty mushroom dishes. Serve at 16-18°C and consider decanting for 30-60 minutes if serving young, to let the wine open fully and soften its edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSheridan Vineyard was founded in 1996 by Scott Greer on a hilltop in Yakima Valley, where he has built a reputation for crafting expressive, estate-grown wines with a strong Bordeaux influence. Greer is a self-taught winemaker whose hands-on, sustainable approach has earned repeated high praise from major critics, and Mystique has become one of the clearest examples of the estate’s quality and consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sheridan Vineyard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252017156433,"sku":"FW-4142","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/17mystique.png?v=1783442827","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/sheridan-vineyard-mystique-2018","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
